Example following new practice for captions: An English language film with closedcaptioning in English 008/lang eng 041 0 $a eng $j eng 546 $a Closed-captioned. The same film coded following current practice: 008/lang eng 546 $a Closed-captioned. Title and Statement of Responsibility Area Transcribe the title information and statement of responsibility from the chief source of information. Introductory phrases such as “MGM presents …” are not considered part of the title. As instructed in AACR2 7.1F1, limit statements of responsibility to those credited in the chief source as having a major role in creating the film. In general, this will include producer, director, and writer, but anyone centrally involved with the entire creation of the film should be included in the statement of responsibility. For example, include the director of animation for animated films, the choreographer for ballets, and the songwriter and lyricist for musicals. The “rule of three” applies here (1.1F5); if more than three persons or bodies perform the same function, omit all but the first. If more than three people performing the same function are considered important, such as multiple well-known writers, those people could be included in a 508 note which is not limited by the “rule of three.” Those people can then be traced as added entries following AACR2 21.29D if the cataloger so chooses. Maxwell’s Handbook for AACR2 provides additional guidance in determining the individuals/bodies to credit in the statement of responsibility and the individuals/bodies to transcribe in other areas of the bibliographic description. Maxwell explains the three types of activities that may be involved in the creation of a motion picture: (1) The sponsor has a “primary role that often includes promoting the initial idea of the film, financing the production, and arranging for production.” (2) The producer or production company “is responsible for the mechanics of making the motion picture.” (3) The releasing agent or distributor “issues the completed motion picture to the public.” (p. 201) Sponsors and producers/production companies are given in the statement of responsibility, provided the name(s) appear(s) in the chief source of information. Sponsors and producers/production companies are assumed to have a “type of author- 13
creator responsibility.” If such names are not listed in the chief source and their relationship to the film is considered important, give this information in a note. (p. 202) The releasing agent/distributor is given in the publication/distribution area. Give all other statements of responsibility, including those related to performance, in notes.

Edition Area Many film titles are or have been available in various versions including widescreen, standard, or extended version. The edition statement in the 250 field is used to distinguish these various versions. The item may carry a banner across the container saying, "Special Edition" or be otherwise identified on the disc or packaging. Such statements are usually transcribed in the 250 field. Statements that distinguish one format (e.g. VHS, DVD, Blu-ray) from another should be treated as a format (i.e. 300 field) and not as an edition statement in a 250. If there is no edition statement to transcribe and the statement is needed to distinguish one version from another, the cataloger may need to supply one in square brackets such as: [Widescreen ed.]. Examples of edition statements include: 14
